while the rollover resistance rating
estimates the risk of rolling over in a
single vehicle crash.

Summary:
|
As changes loom, bargains beckon.
By Helen V. Hutchings, NewCarTestDrive.com
The absence of a V6 engine option obviously limits the appeal of the '96 Nissan Pickup. And with an as-tested price of $19,730, our XE 4x4 qualifies as expensive versus competing makes.However, Nissan's dealers seem to have taken note of this as well. Although the base price for the Standard pickup--which is a very bare-bones truck--is $10,999, we've seen dealer ads listing starting prices as low as $8988. With discounts of that magnitude, the Nissan Truck begins looking much more attractive. Nissan has earned a solid reputation for building a quality product. The J.D. Power Vehicle Dependability Study for 1995 put listed Nissan in a first-place tie for Best Overall Truck Line. Thus, if you're in the market for a compact pickup and V6 power isn't an important priority, the Nissan Truck should be on your shopping list. A proven vehicle near the end of its product cycle can be a terrific value, and the Nissan Truck fits both parameters. |

Overview:
|
No cute or fancy names here. The Hardbody appelation is long gone. There's nothing to evoke images of lofty mountains, high plains or low deserts. Just a simple declarative name: Nissan Truck. But what this vehicle lacks in romantic or adventuresome nomenclature, it makes up in variations on the basic compact pickup theme. The Nissan Truck is available in four 2-wheel drive models and three that offer 4-wheel drive. And that doesn't include the options, packages and accessories that can be added to further personalize this pickup to buyer preferences. If this is your first foray into the realm of vehicles with open cargo boxes behind the passenger compartment, it's a good idea to think about what you're going to do with it before you make choices. Does the idea of a truck appeal to you as a lifestyle or image vehicle? If so, you can save a fair amount of money by eliminating features that rarely apply to general transportation use--4wd, for example, or the optional 31-in. tires, good for off-road use but less suitable for street driving than the standard P235/75R-15 radials. If it's going to be a working vehicle, what does it need to carry and/or tow? How many passengers are likely to be on board on a regular basis? Like most pickups, the Nissan's range of options and packages can accommodate a good many needs.
